Unless he reaches the final three levels of a transcendent being, that is, until he overcomes the seventh great tribulation on the path to transcendence, he will inevitably face the fate of annihilation.
Moreover, it was a complete annihilation, with absolutely no chance of starting over, unlike those worlds that were once conquered by the Heavenly Origin Holy Realm.
Those powerful figures from the Tianyuan Sacred Realm who were either plotted against, killed, or captured alive and then sacrificed to the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, thus having everything devoured, died even more thoroughly.
This was also the story of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, whose heart was in great turmoil, after he saw Yuan Hao, who had defied the heavens and returned to the world, in a Journey to the West world created by one of his projections.
They made the decision so easily, without much thought, to form an alliance with Yuan Hao, thus binding their future destinies together to a certain extent.
Or perhaps, in the long years before meeting Yuan Hao, the Supreme Dao Ancestor had already pondered this countless times and understood everything thoroughly.
After that secret meeting with Yuan Hao and the God Pangu, they obtained even more highly confidential information.
The Supreme Dao Ancestor, already caught in a self-contradiction, completely overturned his previous conclusions. He then joined forces with Yuan Hao and Pangu, the God of the Three Kingdoms, and after confirming that they had successfully avoided the Great Dao, they devised a series of entirely new plans.
In comparison, the tribulations and trials currently facing the Jade Emperor are merely insignificant difficulties, and a tiny prelude to the boundless turmoil to come.
However, what was a trivial problem for the Supreme Dao Ancestor and Yuan Hao was a perilous situation for the current Jade Emperor, who was on the verge of death and annihilation several times.
Although the transcendent beings have transcended the endless multiverse, their own Great Dao cannot even be contained by this endless and infinite multiverse void sea, nor can the Great Dao forcibly inscribe and imprint the Dao of transcendence.
However, in this infinite diversity, if a transcendent being were to completely perish, and before their fall they had not destroyed the path of transcendence they had been guided by, or if the factors that caused their fall had not been destroyed or dissolved, then what would happen if they were to fall completely, and if the path of transcendence they had not been destroyed or dissolved?
So all those transcendent beings who perished in the endless, infinite, and multiverse void will return to the embrace of the Great Void, and their Dao and imprints will be absorbed by the Great Dao, becoming nourishment for the Great Dao itself, sustaining the Great Dao and allowing it to continuously grow and transform.
It is precisely because it has absorbed everything left behind by countless powerful beings and transcendent beings who have fallen for various reasons over the long and diverse ages that the Great Dao has become increasingly powerful, elusive, and unpredictable.
This is precisely why the supreme and strongest among the few transcendent beings who have existed for countless years has gradually changed from being absolutely invincible to now being constantly threatened by all sorts of threats.
There's no other reason than that in the distant past, when the Great Dao was not as powerful as it is now, it had no ability to pose any threat to the strong among those who had transcended. But now it's different.
Despite the relentless onslaught of the Dao of the Great Luo Immortals and the occasional flashes of the Dao of Transcendence, the Jade Emperor persevered and eventually overcame several more tribulations, successfully taking the second step on the path of Transcendence.
Under the witness of all, the endless tribulations that the Jade Emperor endured were unimaginable to the many Great Luo Realm experts of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, allowing the Jade Emperor's power to reach an unprecedented peak, surpassing even the time when the Heavenly Court ruled over everything in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm countless years ago.
After witnessing the entire process of the Jade Emperor overcoming the second tribulation on his path to transcendence, all the transcendent beings in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm who had taken the first step towards transcendence were filled with heavy hearts.
The trials that the Supreme God of Heaven had just endured under their own witness were ones that they themselves would not have been able to overcome.
Or rather, all of you who have transcended worldly concerns know very well that if you were to face the second tribulation on the path to transcendence, you would absolutely face certain death, with absolutely no chance of survival.
"Haotian, what a Haotian you are! You are indeed worthy of your reputation! However, I will not admit defeat so easily. You have only taken the lead for now. The future is still long!"
After silently reciting the command in his heart, the Wind Flame God King withdrew all his consciousness and began to enter a deep seclusion to consolidate his new realm and what he had gained during this period.
And the Dao revealed by the few transcendent beings they perceive on their path to transcendence will collide, combine, and verify with their own Dao, thus providing insight into the road ahead.
The other transcendents who took their first step into transcendence also made the same choice as the Wind and Flame God King, and began to consolidate and improve themselves.
After this grand feast, exclusively for the Transcendent Ones and the Great Luo Realm experts, came to an end, none of the Great Luo Realm experts in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm spoke out.
However, they all understood one thing at the same time: from now on, the future of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm no longer belonged to them, the Great Luo powerhouses, but was about to usher in a new era belonging to the transcendents.
Fortunately, the strongest individuals who will be able to successfully transcend in the foreseeable future will most likely be among the Great Luo Realm experts who have already witnessed the birth of several transcendent beings.
For a long time afterward, many powerful figures from the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, contrary to their usual behavior, became active on the battlefield of the interdimensional war in an unprecedented manner.
In the past, after they got on the right track by plundering the myriad worlds through interdimensional wars, the Great Luo powerhouses rarely took action and stayed at the headquarters of their respective forces.
Only when they occasionally encounter a few formidable opponents, or when an extremely powerful world appears that excites them, will the Great Luo experts mobilize to plunder and conquer everything within their perception for the sake of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, their respective forces, and themselves.
Now, stimulated by the successive successes of several transcendent powerhouses, the Great Luo powerhouses have unleashed unprecedented motivation and vitality.
They tirelessly ventured into this boundless and multifaceted void, plundering everything within their reach to nourish the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm and themselves.

Chapter 318 The Destruction of Half of the Multiverse
Countless different Great Daos and brand-new rules were comprehended, learned from, and transformed into their own by the many powerful figures of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm. They incorporated the infinite Dao principles of thousands of worlds into themselves, turning them into fuel to forge and refine their own Great Dao.
With these powerful Grand Luo experts, seemingly on steroids, advancing one after another, the speed at which the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm devoured the boundless and endless multiverse sea beneath it suddenly increased by nearly 70% to 80%.
Meanwhile, the development speed of many major forces in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm is unprecedentedly vigorous. Every moment, an endless stream of geniuses and strong individuals emerge, presenting a completely new look and posture, seemingly worlds apart from yesterday.
After sensing all this, Yuan Hao nodded slightly. It was worthwhile for him to secretly guide the invincible experts among the Great Luo to embark on the path of transcendence in front of so many people, and to successfully transcend.
It's no wonder Yuan Hao did such a thing, especially since the Tianyuan Sacred Realm successfully transcended this infinite and endless multi-dimensional void sea, and especially since the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths merged into the Tianyuan World during this long period of time.
Because the external environment was too comfortable, and there was no powerful external enemy to oppress them, the forces they deployed were constantly plundering the myriad worlds within this multiverse sea to support their own growth.
The road ahead seemed endless, and as far as the eye could see, there was no light at all; it was pitch black.
In such an environment, there is no sense of crisis or urgency, everything is satisfied, and the road ahead is nowhere in sight.
The powerful cultivators of the Great Luo realm in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm have inevitably become somewhat complacent, or rather, many of them have developed a rather lazy and indifferent attitude.
They have lost that former determination to risk everything, to pay any price, even death, just for a chance to reach a higher realm.
Now, after being continuously stimulated by the transcendent beings of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, many of the Great Luo experts of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm have regained their former fighting spirit, rekindled their boundless ambition, and begun to charge forward on their path.
Soon after, the news that Shi Hao, the ruler of the Heavenly Court and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, was also a transcendent being swept across the entire Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
In this newly born, infinitely vast and multifaceted void sea, besides the supreme Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, there exists a unique True Realm.
The powerful figures of the Heavenly Court, who believed they had thoroughly investigated all the information about that unique true realm, were in charge of the affairs of the Heavenly Court when the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was absent.
